Why I Do It

Psalm 9:1
"I will Praise you, O Lord, with all my heart"

I am flipping through the pages of my Bible when I come to this verse. This verse describes what I try to do everyday... no matter how hard life may seem. I began trying to do this two years ago when I got majorly hurt in  a farming accident. Some People ask me why, after all that I've been through, I would Praise the Lord with all my heart. My answer to them is simply this, it is only a small repayment that doesn't even come close to all that he has done for me. He started years ago, even before he sent his only son to die for me. It goes all the way up to when I got hurt, He was with and and spoke to me, He healed me, revealed himself to me, and showed me how powerful he really is, but it doesn't stop there either. It continues on today, something came up and when I awoke this morning I prayed God would help me see the good in the day ahead. Today he has done two things I will never forget, He provided when I saw no way for it to happen.

So you see why I praise the Lord with all my heart. I have a million reasons why I should and one lousy reason why I shouldn't.... Life is hard. Just because life is hard gives me no excuses to stop Praising the Lord, so I really don't even have a excuse not to, so....
